Skateboarding isn’t just tricks. It’s creative expression. Finding new spots. Pushing yourself. Doing it your way. For Gen Z, skating means turning ordinary streets into something personal. So we took that idea further.

What if a normal skate day wasn’t so normal?

That question kicked off Not Just Another Day, our latest flight in the super successful Made with Lenovo Yoga x AMD series. We paired three amazing pro skaters with three AI artists, then pushed the footage into surreal, gamified territory. Think warped environments. Power-ups. Pixel glitches. Every trick unlocking a new visual surprise

Shot on the streets of LA with @Monicatorrs, @Gageboyle, and @Yurifacchini the raw session footage became the playground. AI artists @Ceej.Vega, @JonUriarte, and @HoldenBoyles each took different moments and built one shared visual language across the film. AI met VFX. After Effects met instinct. The skater vibes stayed real. The world didn’t.

Starting with straight-up street clips, the artists layered in makeshift ramps, creatures, UI overlays, and environmental hacks. A classic sunny skate day turned into something you could almost pick up a controller for.

The project rolls out as a collaborative long-form film across all three artists’ channels, paired with individual How I Made It breakdowns that show what really goes into bringing this kind of work to life. The tests that failed. The shots that didn’t track. The late-night problem solving. Because we don’t just show finished work. We show the grind behind it.

Not Just Another Day is all about blending what’s real with what’s possible. Real tricks. Unreal world. And proof that when you push the process as hard as the skating, even a regular sesh can hit a whole new level!
